MIDFIELDER Rohan Ricketts today labelled Wolves start to the season as nothing more than "average" - insisting the whole squad were convinced there was much more to come.

Wolves' 3-1 win against QPR on Tuesday meant they reached the season's first international break in sixth place in the table, having taken 11 points from the first six games.

That's more than respectable, but could have been even better, with Wolves having failed to take advantage of their possession in awaydays at Leeds and Cardiff that secured just a solitary point.

"The start we have had is average from what we want and from where we want to be," said Ricketts. "That means there is still a lot left to work on and a lot more room for improvement throughout the team.

"We've got to realise that and take it on board and listen to what the manager is telling us.

"We've got to be winners but in doing that we have to earn the right to go out there and play our football."
